Job Title: Lead Macro Energy Trader (Cross-Commodity)
Focus: High-value, discretionary proprietary trading across the European energy stack.
The Role
As a Lead Macro Energy Trader, you will operate with significant autonomy, running a major proprietary book at the intersection of European Power, Natural Gas (TTF/NBP), and Carbon (EUA).

* Strategic Execution: Design and execute directional, relative value, and event-driven strategies (e.g., Spark/Dark spreads).
* Risk Architecture: Own your daily risk metrics (VaR, Greeks, stress testing) and operate within defined drawdown limits.
* Market Intel: Leverage a global network to gather "boots-on-the-ground" intelligence on physical flows and storage.
Candidate Profile
* Experience: 10+ years in international commodity trading; minimum 8 years running a profitable Power/Gas book.
* Track Record: Proven P&L generation of $10M–$30M+ per annum in previous roles.
* Technical: Strong understanding of payoff engineering and option Greeks.
* Languages: English (Required); German or French (Advantageous).
